The children's game of tic-tac-toe was turned
into the question-and-answer "Tic Tac Dough."
The object of the game was for a player to be
the first to put his or her mark, "X" or "O,"
in three boxes, either across, up, down, or
diagonally. Two players alternated selecting
a box and answering a question from the category
indicated on the box in order to be able to
place their mark in the box. Each correct answer
added to the games jackpot, which was won by the
player making tic-tac-toe. After each round of
questions, the nine categories were
rotated to different boxes.
After a nineteen-year absence from television,
Tic Tac Dough returned with Wink Martindale as
host. The game remained the same except for the
addition of a bonus game were six boxes contained
cash amounts, one said "tic," another said "tac,"
and in the last was the face of a dragon. The
object was to accumulate $1000, before hitting
the dragon, which stopped the bonus round. If
the player found both the tic and tac boxes,
he or she automatically won the game.
